Curbside organics pickup delayed to 2022 SHARE ON: Organics curbside pickup may be pushed back to next spring. The Town of Creston’s Manager of Engineering Colin Farynowksi outlined key factors to Council as to why an autumn start wouldn’t be advisable. Farynowksi said the Regional District of Central Kootenay is working toward having the facility ready for use in Fall 2020, but they have indicated that starting collection of organic material (for the first time) during winter months will be operationally difficult. So, the RDCK recommends that organic material NOT be accepted until the spring of 2022. It is a timeline and sentiment shared by Creston’s neighbours Castlegar and Nelson who, according to Farynowski, will be launching their respective programs then.
